Works for me. I roll on two coats with a thin sponge roller in the spring before putting the boat in the water for the summer. At take-out, I'd get a sprayer full of water and a sponge to remove any mud/sludge right when the boat comes out. As far as moving the boat to another location in season, I would think that if you go over the boat with a good rag before you put it in, this would expose the copper enough to protect the hull for some time.

I upgraded to a stiffer bristle brush, and this stuff is now working great. The brush and cleaner is making very swift work of removing millions of little green spots left after I powerwashed the the algae. It is still toxic as hell, but I will have my bottom ready for sanding in less than three hours work (about an hour for powerwashing and one to two hours for the On and Off Hull Cleaner treatment).
